Imessage issues when no data connection

Hi,
I have noticed this behavior a few times already and I am wondering if there is any solution for it.
Best to explain with a real live example.
My in-laws just traveled abroad to visit family. When in our home country, the Netherlands, we use iMessage to keep in touch and works like a charm. Mainly because we (me and my wife, as well as both my in-laws have a data connection, either wifi or 3g)
Now they are abroad and to prevent them from being charged data roaming, data roaming is switched of.
Now here is the issue:
I sent a message to my mother in law and it was sent as an imessage (blue bubble) I did sent it to her phonenumber, but still it was sent as an imessage. Meaning she did not recieve this message and neither did the message fall back to be sent as a text message, also I didn't got notified that the message wasn't delivered.
They just enabled wifi at their destination and voila, my message is delivered. So if they wouldn't be able to get a data connection, this message would never have been recieved at all.
I have sent as text message switched on, but as far as I know this only counts if I don't have a data connection....
Regards,
Ron

Hi, thanks yes, I eventually found this setting. It's more that almost everyone else I know hasn't changed this setting on their phone and so I'm missing lots of iMessages when I don't have data. I'm just wondering if Apple changed the default setting in the iOS 7 upgrade?

Permissions Issue with Infopath Data Connection

I'm not really sure how else to title this....
Issue - InfoPath Form on SharePoint 2010 gives 'You do not have permissions to access a SharePoint list that contains data required for this form to function correctly."
It gives a correlation ID
Log file shows
"Exception Message: The form cannot run the specified query. The list could not be found."
Note the look-up is to a SharePoint list on the same content database.
We have two Web-Front End servers with a load balancer. We've had a number of other permissions type issues when the 'token' gets switched from one server to another, so we have the HOSTs file on each server pointing back to itself, so that once a
server is 'grabbed' it stays on the same one.
The error we are having currently, only seems to be occurring on the first Web Front End Server.
Also we have sharepoint setup with an address of
http://sharepoint.domain.com as well as an alias. http://sharepoint.
The error we are having currently, only occurs if I use the fully qualified domain
" http://sharepoint.domain.com" on the InfoPath data connection. If I use the shortened alias, the error does not occur. That is the current/easy solution, but I would like
to fix it 'correctly' if possible.
So, it appears to me that only on one of the Web Front End servers, it isn't liking the fully qualified path when doing a data connection.

Hi ,
Is the above issue fixed . if not please check below option
Check the List / Library [Source for dataconnection ] permission setting .
If the permission is unique [ restricted from root site]. we will the above type error message

I'm having 'Trust' issues when trying to connect our iPads to our PC's.

Our teachers have been taking photos on our iPads. In the past they were able to connect via USB, click ‘trust’ and download them onto our PC’s. Suddenly this is not happening anymore. The PC recognises the iPad, we click ‘trust’, you find the iPad on the list of drives, click to download photos and it disconnects and asks if we trust the computer again. This reoccurs until we eventually give up. It's becoming rather frustrating.
I have tried the old 'download the lastest drivers' etc.
We have iPad Minis running 7.1
Anyone suggest a fix?

Hello Slemarinel,
It sounds like you are having issues connecting your iPads to a computer to import pictures from it. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help troubleshoot the issue named:
iOS: Troubleshooting USB-related alerts when syncing
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5254
Unplug the cable you're using to connect your iOS device from the USB port on your computer, and then reconnect it. Then unplug it from your iOS device, and reconnect it.
Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead.
Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
These apps may interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.
Restart your computer.
Restart your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
Update to the latest version of iTunes if you have not already.
Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device.
The USB chipset on some non-Apple computers may interfere with syncing.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Date issue when exporting data to Excel from SSRS report, where date is less than 1/1/1900

Hi,
I am using SSRS report to display the data from database. In that data, One of the column is DATE. when I am exporting to Excel all that dates are displaying fine except 1/1/1800 12:00 AM. Instead of 1/1/1800 12:00 AM it is displaying XXXXXXXXXXXXXX values.
Please help me to fix the issue.
Please let me know if more clarification required.
Thanks In advance.

Hello,
We can use Cstr() function to convert the Date type data to String data. Suppose we have a field named DateTime, please refer to the expression below:
=Cstr(Fields!DateTime.Value)
Then we can get a string type data. There is an article about SSRS expression, you can refer to it.

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Hi
Try following the steps below. I had the same problem a while back with my Nokia and gave up trying. I recently tried to sync my Sansa MP3 in MTP mode and had the same problem. Went to the Sandisk site and searched on MTP and they had the fix below. MP3 player was fixed and then, out of curiosity, I tried my Nokia and it also worked.
MTP Device Cannot Start code 10" error message
I get an "MTP Device Cannot Start, error code 10" error message when I connect my Sansa player to a PC running Windows XP. What can I do?
1. Make sure you are logged in as an administrator
2. If connected, disconnect your player from the PC
3. Open your command prompt, click Start select Run
4. Type cmd then press Enter
5. Type the following after the prompt: Net localgroup Administrators local service /add then press Enter
NOTE: A "The command completed successfully" message should appear.
6. Close the command prompt and reconnect the Sansa player.

Issues when trying to connect to Oracle database

Hi
We have set up a linked server in SQL Server to connect to an Oracle database. We are using SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (64 bit) on Windows Server 2008 and Oracle client 11g 11.02.00.01 connecting to Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production using UTF8.
Most tables are selectable without error, however, we got this error message for some:
Msg 7347, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' for linked server 'OurLinkedServer' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[OraOLEDB.Oracle].Ourfieldname'. The (maximum) expected data length is 6, while the returned data length is 2.
This error message refers to a column of type char(3)
Will the characterset cause this error (I’ve read that SQL Server doesn’t support UTF8)?
If not, is there some other resolution that anyone can think of?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
Tom

Thank You for replying, Justin!
Yes, I can connect successfully to the database through other tools - at the moment I tried SQL*Plus, Net8 Easy Config and Schema Manager.
The Oracle client in the NT machine is 8.0.5.0.0. And unfortunately I do not know anything about the Oracle installation on this machine and at the moment I don't have that person near me too whom to ask also. But I think the installation was ok, because the connection through ODBC was working before the DB upgrade as far as I understood (sorry, again at the moment I don't know what was the previous version of DB. I will ask that information as soon as possible).
The main problem that bothers me at the moment is that I can't install 8.1.* series OraODBC driver with 8.0.5.0.0 Oracle Installer. I managed to install 8.0.6.6.0 version of the driver, but not the newer ones. As far as I've understood I have to upgrade the whole Oracle in the NT machine to upgrade that installer. Am I correct?

Mohit,
Set the Debugging option in CFC2 transaction for the userid and also change the mode of the user id to Dialogue mode. This will stops the processing of inbound queue in APO system and thus allowing us to debug.

How do you configure the set of port to use for FTP passive data connection

I was able to start the ftp server xml db and connect to it locally. When I tried to connect to it from home, I was able to log in but when i do a "get" command the sessions hangs. I also tried passive mode and do a "get" command and it gives me a connection refused error. I am using the default port 2100. I think this might be a firewall issue with the data connection port. I am not sure which range of ports to open for the passive ftp connection on the server side or where to go and set them for for the ftp server to use? Or this issue might not be firewall related??? Any thoughts. Thanks.

This is a typical problem with VPN/Firewall software and FTP on ports other than 21.
When you open the FTP data connection the FTP Server identifies which port the data will be sent on using the PORT command which is sent on the command port (typically 21 with a normal FTP server, 2100 by default with XDB). THe client then opens that PORT to accept the data (file, output of an ls etc).
As I understand it most VPN/Firewall are configured to monitor 21 for 'PORT' requests. They then understand to allow connection on the PORT number passed on the command PORT. Hence with Port 21 firewall / VPN software is not a problem. However since the XDB command PORT is something other than 21 they do not see / honour the PORT commands from the server and hence the client cannot open the data connection on the specified PORT
As to how to solve it, I wish I knew (After 5 years I still can't use XDB FTP from home to a machine in the office once the VPN tunnel is open :( ). I'm sure it's going to be firewall / VPN software specific and may need the VPN servers to be configured.
The best bet would be to run the FTP server on 21...
Add the following line to your listener.ora file
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = hostname) (PORT = 21))
(PROTOCOL_STACK = (PRESENTATION = FTP) (SESSION = RAW)))
and then restart the listener as root
Start the listener as root.
At the operating system prompt, enter tnslsnr with optional command line arguments. The usage is as follows:
tnslsnr [listener_name] [-user user] [-group group]
where:
Table 4-3 tnslsnr Utility Options
Option Description
listener_name
Specify the name of the listener. If omitted, the default name LISTENER will be used.
-user user
Specify the user whose privileges the listener will use when super user (root) privileges are not needed. After performing the privileged operations, the listener will give up root privileges irreversibly.
-group group
Specify the group whose privileges the listener will use when super user (root) group privileges are not needed. After performing the privileged operations, the listener will give up root group privileges irreversibly.
The listener will temporarily switch to the provided user and group immediately after startup. All subsequent operations will be done with the specified user and group privileges, except the system calls necessary to listen on configured endpoints. The listener will revert to super user (root) for a short period of time to listen on reserved addresses, such as TCP ports less than 1024. After the listener starts listening on all of its endpoints configured in listener.ora, it will switch to the specified user and group irreversibly. Therefore, the listener will give up the root privilege that it initially had. In the current release, -user and -group command line arguments only accept user and group identifiers specified in numeric form.
For example, to execute a root listener called mylsnr and have it use privileges of a user identified

Inability to restart a mail download broken due to data connection drop

I am facing problem in viewing attachments if the Mobile Data connection or the WiFi connection breaks in between the downloading of the mail attachment. The mail I am referring to is a direct email with attachments sent to my email address by a sender.
I am not expecting the iPhone to display the attachment without downloading the attachment, obviously. However, if the attachment download is interrupted due to break in data connection, I am not able to restore the download of the remaining part of the attachment later, even if the data connection is re-established subsequently.
In this situation when the data connection has been broken and the attachment has not been completely downloaded, if I click on the attachment, a window opens stating the attachment has not been downloaded. This attachment does not get downloaded even if I drag the attachment window down to refresh the content. I have also tried to mark the mail as unread and then reopening it to see if the attachment starts to download afresh- but nothing happens and the attachment does not start downloading nor it continues from the point of break. I have also tried to force close the mail app and then start the mail app again to reopen the particular mail and then clicking the mail attachment- but again failed to start the attachment download either afresh or from the point it had broken.
When i force close the App and reopened it and the particular mail, the pie chart on the attachment did not appear- both with as well as without clicking on the attachment. In this situation if we click on the attachment it again opens the same blank window of the attachment with text inside the window stating that the attachment has not been downloaded.
The same problem (inability to restore broken attachment download upon restoration of data connection) also happens if the data connection breaks while the email is open and the attachment is being downloaded (the attachment appears as a pie chart with increasingly shaded area indicating the progressive download of the attachment).
This problem occurs with both iCloud as well as Gmail mail accounts. The problem also continues even if i reset iPhone by pressing both Home and Power button simultaneously to get the Apple logo on the screen.
To clarify, the issue is not that the phone starts download while the data connection is down. Rather, the data connection breaks while the download is already continuing.
The above scenario basically prevents you from viewing the attachment if for once the data connection has been broken while the attachment is in the process of being downloaded.
But if I open the app after some time, and then reopen the mail it often happens that the attachment automatically downloads itself. ( i have not been able to quantify or assess the time span after which this happens).
The problem also happens in the case of viewing an email which has not been downloaded completely but the data connection breaks in between.
It has been happening since the beginning of my purchase of iPhone, but i have chosen to stop tolerating the problem recently and have thus highlighted it to you. This problem occurs with all types of attachments-pdf, word etc. It also behaves in similar manner in the case of main email content.
Kindly advise on how to ensure that in case a download of the attachment is broken due to break in data connection, the download of the attachment is resumed after the data connection is restored. There must be ways to make that email as a new email and then download the complete email alongwith the attachments afresh after the connection is established afresh in due course.
It is to reiterate and repeat once again what was discussed that the problem being highlighted is not that the download gets broken on network disruption. Instead the problem is that the download is not restored (nor restarted) after restoration of the network.
I understand and appreciate that download cannot happen without network and that the break in download upon network break is expected behaviour.
However, the inability to restore download after network restore is not expected behaviour.
This issue is independent of the type of network - WiFi or Cellular.
I want to address the issue of inability to restore/ restart download upon network restore.

I agree that data connection should be reliable.
However, what I am expecting is that the behaviour of the iPhone Mail client should be made similar to that on a Desktop PC, like Outlook.
In other words, if we refresh the mail content by dragging the open window down it should actually refresh the full content including the attachments, even if it has been downloaded - in part or in full.

Data Connection Problem

Hi, I have updated to IOS8 at the weekend and am having an issue with reliable data connection. I have 12pm-7am set as sleep time and in the morning at some point after 7 it has managed to get online and check email. However like this morning before I went out it had got new email yet when I opened safari to go to a web site, had 2 dot signal strength and 3G yet all I got was the spinning "flower" next to the 3G and no data.
Eventually it times out.
Previously at the weekend I have rebooted twice in succession before it worked however this morning I just went into settings and turned off/on the data and it worked fine fast as you like!
It also seems to be intermittent through the day which I think may be leading to greater battery usage as it is spending longer trying to connect and then all the retry attempts I image it will be making.
I have 4g switched off as that's not in my contract - battery saver in itself as it won't be searching for a 4g signal all the time.
Wifi doesn't seem to be affected but would need to test that longer to be certain.
using iphone 5 was a clean update factory reset and all that. using gmail contacts/email so didn't need to restore any backup.
any ideas??
edit: and it's most obvious when you do speech to text as it can't contact the server now thats a pain.
thx

[N95] Crashing on data connection

After updating firmware from first 30.x series to latest 31.0.017 I immediatelly spotted a problem when using data connection.
Phone will spontaneously crash and reboot when (using Packet data bearer connection).
Phone details:
N95 (07.01) , RM-159, fw v 31.0.017.
There are no direct steps how to reproduce this, but I'm able to reproduce this with this software running on phone simultaneously:
- Music player in background
- Opera mini in front and browsing
(- Connection manager sometimes, not needed for crash to occur).
- Earphones with custom profile activated (maybe relevant)
On a 2 hour journey my phone crashed with an ugly hissing sound and rebooted about 4 times, always witth same pattern of usage: music player in background, opera mini in front and browsing with a packet data bearer type of connection.
This doesn't happend at all if using wirelless connection (I did next day at home for several hours with same applications).
Back on my way I tried with setting from Dual Mode to GSM, but it was crashing nevertheless.
It seems to me that this occurs when network coverage is changing rapidly from no coverage at all to Edge or maybe 3G.
It's a freshly updated phone, only removed Ngage stuff and installed Opera Mini, FireEagle updater (http://fireeagle.yahoo.net/j2me), and CorePlayer 1.3.0 (original version, non-cracked).
One of crashes happened also when I used fireeagle (was updating status) with music player in background. Maybe it is java app + network related?
Cannot test with symbian native apps since using e.g. builtin browser will generate great amount of data traffic, which is expensive.
Message Edited by kriko on 25-Jan-2009 07:04 PM

Does this happen when doing anything else while phone is connected via USB? In PC Suite mode?
If it happens all the time, I would recommened uninstalling Nokia PC Suite, Nokia connectivity cable drivers and PC Connectivity solutions and then redownload Nokia PC Suite from www.nokia.com/pcsuite

Issues with iMessage when switching data carrier (wifi - cellular)

So I have had this issue with my 5S and now my 6+ in iMessage. Not *always* but often enough I've run into issues sending messages via iMessage when I associate with wifi in that they don't send. I'll get an error message saying "not delivered" and it will stack as many outgoing messages I try to send. However, if I force the first message to send as text, subsequent messages will go through afterwards without issue. If I go from wifi to cellular I have no issues whatsoever and when I have these issues on wifi, my data works fine (incoming emails, Facebook notifications, etc.). I used to run cellular data only because I had unlimited but now I have a cap so I intend on using wifi when possible...but to have to send my first message as a text just so I can use iMessage is annoying...

Hi there BigDogg795,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for iMessage found in the article below.
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.

Hi. I have an iPhone 4 and no data plan. When I'm not connected to wifi I don't receive iMessages, but later when I do connect to wifi, I get them telling me they were sent earlier. I don't remember how long this has been happening. Any Help?

Hi. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS7 and no data plan. When I am not connect to wifi I don't receive iMessages, but then when I do connect to wifi I get the messages telling me they were sent earlier. Is there any thing I can do to fix it? I don't remember how long this has been happening but it is very frustrating. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!!!

If you don't have a cellular data plan, then why are you expecting that you will have an active internet connection unless you are connected to wi-fi?
iMessages require either wi-fi or a cellular data connection.
